Section 30610.4.

(a) Upon establishment of an acquisition cost pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 30610.3, the commission shall review the area in question to determine if all or some portion of that area meets the criteria specified in subdivision (b) of Section 30610.1 for areas within which no coastal development permit will be required from the commission for construction of single-family residences. Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 30610.1, lots, other than those immediately adjacent to any beach or to the mean high tide line where there is no beach, can be included in this exclusion area. If the commission determines an area designated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 30610.3 meets that criteria, the area shall be designated as one wherein no coastal development permit from the commission shall be required for the construction of single-family residences.

(b) Prior to the commencement of construction of any single-family residence within an area designated pursuant to this section, a certificate of exemption must be obtained pursuant to Section 30610.2 and the appropriate "in-lieu" public access fee shall be paid.
